I tried to grow it once, but didn´t know how to, so it died. I just got 3 new bulbs with flowers and an instructions manual.
To survive tropical climates, it must be cultivated in light shade, avoiding sunlight. Must be watered twice a day with two ice cubes (just lay the ice cubes on the soil and let it melt). During the spring, when the flowers fade and the leaves dry, remove the bulbs from the pot, cut off the remaining leaves, clean the bulbs and bulblets and store them in a fresh place for 3 months, without water. Then put it back on the vase with the same soil type and throw it into the refrigerator, keeping the soil moist, for 6 months. When they germinate, probably during the winter, bring them out and put them in light shade again, where it will bloom again.
Of course, if you live in a place with cold winters, all this care isn´t necessary, but if you live in Florida or California, cultivating this plant could turn out to be an interesting hobby, with a sweet reward.
